i can see how this fits the challenge, the composition is good, and the coloring and light are good, however as a photo i just don't find it overly interesting to look at

Only commenting cause you HM'd it... I think the shot lacks interest.

But that's just me :)

Wish the shadow/light contrats were stronger.

This photo doesnt look interesting to me at all. It needs some post processing to stop the colours looking so flat and dull, maybe increasing the contrast. Its also a bit blurry, and really the subject matter isnt very appealing. Also, the composition is too centered imo, and the angle isnt very creative or interesting either.

Eloise,

I noticed that you predicted a few of the most "common" comments. I am curious then, why you didn't share why you chose this shot, with these colours from this angle?

I am not fond of the angle, I don't think its adding anything to the picture, the colours are indeed very washed out without enough contrast and I don't see why the doors were included. You could have gotten a much more abstractly "art deco" feel from the photo if you had just included the windows (and the wings, but I don't feel those are particularly "art deco", because I usually think of clean lines and weird angles when I think of art deco)

Just a few of me "hit me" thoughts! I hope they help.

It looks like you took a branch from a weed, laid it on the ground and took a picture of it......... 2

A bit more contrast would have helped increase my vote.

i think that by making this a black and white photo with high contrast, you could not only emphasize the light and shadows aspect, but also the texture of the tiny leaves... i tried it in photoshop, and it came out lovely! - 6
